Donohue Joseph. Cambridge History of British Theatre , Vol. 2, 1680 to 1895
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS, 552р.Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of British Theatre begins in 1660
with the restoration of King Charles II to the throne and the reestablishment
of the professional theatre, interdicted since 1642,
and follows the far-reaching development of the form over two
centuries and more to 1895. Descriptions of the theatres, actors
and actresses, acting companies, dramatists and dramatic genres
over the period are augmented by accounts of the audiences,
politics and morality, scenography, provincial theatre, theatrical
legislation, the long-drawn-out competition of major and minor
theatres, and the ultimate revocation of the theatrical monopoly
of Drury Lane and Covent Garden, initiating a new era. Chapters
on two representative years, 1776 and 1895, are complemented by
chapters on two phenomenal productions, The Beggar’s Opera and
The Bells, as well as by studies of popular theatre, including music
hall, sexuality on the Victorian stage and other social and cultural
contexts, and the appearance of new departures in dramatic art
and the first glimmerings of modernism.
